Ship from manufacturing or inventory

Because your orders are make direct, the job demand should be "make to order
", so you should be shipping from the job, not from inventory.

Our company has created Jobs for parts that are being shipped from Inventory. So, should we be shipping from inventory or from manufacturing?

Copied from version 8.03.409c Help:
From Inventory
Our Ship Qty
The quantity shipped from inventory. This will reduce the inventory allocation and the quantity on hand in the part master file. You cannot enter an inventory ship quantity if the part does not exist in the part master file.
From Manufacturing
Our Job Ship Qty
The quantity being shipped from manufacturing. This quantity is recorded against the job number.
The open quantity from the sales order release appears as the default if this is a manufactured release with a job reference. The quantity in the This Shipment field is updated as a result of entry in this field.

My understanding is that if you "make to order" you probably use the "from manufacturing", and if you "make to stock" you probably use the "from inventory"

Anyone, feel free to correct me if I am wrong...

You are correct, also chose one or the other don't try both on the same
part.

If your jobs are set up to automatically take the parts to stock or if
someone is doing a final transaction to take the parts to stock, then you
should be shipping from inventory because that is where the parts reside.



If the parts are not taken to stock (automatically or manually), you should
be shipping from WIP (manufacturing).



You need to be careful about where you decide to ship from based on the
costing method that is set up for your parts. If you are using FIFO, then
you should take your parts to stock (and ship from inventory) or you won't
be creating a FIFO costing layer for those parts.

So if we use "from manufacturing" we can link the job to the packing slip, but if we use "from inventory" we cannot link the job to the packing slip.

Our manufacturing requires we create jobs from all orders.

What costing method are you using? What version of Epicor are you using?
Are your orders Make Direct?
